What a pain in the ass situation. Glad you’re back in the garage! Agree on the bench comment too. When my bench was 345 by OHP was non existent. Didn’t help other than maybe the lockout due to tricep strength.
Totally agree with the "the less trained you are the more it is going to impact, the more trained you are the less it's going to impact" on the bench/OHP question. Practicing oly weightlifting in a local club I was training OHP only, never bench press. The day I seriously added BP to my training my OHP improved dramatically, probably because you allow your triceps/shoulders to push far heavier loads, so it improves the stimulus on them
Great video! I like to do decline push-ups with a deficit, easier to do in the gym because I can use a box and some dumbbells but feasible at home with a couch and a couple barbells or even a stack of books or yoga blocks in a pinch.
Is it true that more thicker the bar is the more force you can generate that’s the reason why you are using fat grips?? How grip thickness transfers to force production in bench press
Hey Coach, the concept of "minimum effective dose"-focusing on the least amount of volume needed to achieve meaningful progress-has been gaining popularity on social media lately. I was curious if there’s a "minimum effective dose" you’d recommend for Olympic lifts such as power cleans, hang cleans, and full cleans. Specifically, I’m looking for an approach that wouldn’t add excessive volume to a program but still allows for improvement in these lifts without requiring too much time (i.e., a certain amount of sets per week focused on these lifts) Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
Overall Thoughts on clean grip (shoulder width hand placement) over head squat? Like squat jerking or narrow full depth snatch etc ? Seems to be a hyper elite movement
Good way to maximize overload. Probably wouldn't want to use decline as a primary variation, but Will is big on switching to help prevent overuse. Training specificity means you will get best at what you do the most, but overuse also means what you do the most gets you feeling pain. Ask a baseball pitcher how his shoulder feels after the game. The strongest people I've ever listened to all say similar things, some call it the conjugate style of training. They all talk about hitting near max lifts with good technique week to week, the key part is maxing a lift you haven't done in a while. Also maxing is a bad way to think of it in my opinion. A heavy controlled single is what I think we should be going for. We can definitely do heavy controlled singles when our form is visibly not breaking down, and we don't overuse ourselves from heavier weights, it's usually from junk volume that bodybuilding advocates doing. It's crazy to hear how many people advocate for the light weight high reps approach. You can absolutely build muscle doing this, but your joints can never really adapt that same way a football player's did with all this brutal training. Only fools think that 15 reps of machine rows have any significant training stimulus compared to a snatch high pull. Lmao, have a wonderful day if you didn't stop reading after the first three sentences or less.

You know it’s going to be a good day when Will uploads a training video🔥
Honey wake up, new ratelle vid dropped

I’m with you on the bench too. 345 bench for a few singles but lucky to get 165 for a few singles on OHP. Something I just neglected until recently

How does dips transfers to bench press strength instead of decline bench?
Appreciate you answering my question coach!
What are your thoughts on football bar for bench pressing maximum weights instead of straight bar?
Great video! I like to do decline push-ups with a deficit, easier to do in the gym because I can use a box and some dumbbells but feasible at home with a couch and a couple barbells or even a stack of books or yoga blocks in a pinch.
Love the garage. Good set of cleaning.

Let’s go!!!! Hoss training video= a good week ahead
Do you have anyone you do/ did look up to for lifting? Klokov or other lifters?
👉🏻 how do you train your biceps? What is most optimal biceps exercise
Would you ever do a program review and critique style video, I'd watch that content.
What are your thoughts on just doing high velocity stuff(plyos, sprints) and general strength work instead of surfing the force velocity curve?
when are you planning on dropping hoss project 2 ?
Fire 🔥
Overall Thoughts on clean grip (shoulder width hand placement) over head squat? Like squat jerking or narrow full depth snatch etc ? Seems to be a hyper elite movement
Would you recommend doing any kind of explosive jumping/sprinting the day after squatting/deadlifting heavy on back-to-back days?
You do cleans a lot but I don't recall seeing you do the jerk. Do you ever do jerks.
He has some shorts of him doing jerks
11:57 maybe because in a normal push-up, like half of your bodyweight is supported by your feet being on the ground?
Will da GOAT no cap
why decline bench?

Father Time is creeping in
What pants are those?!?!
Long form videos again
Nature is healing
Love u will but imo the barbell apparel stuff is trash and overpriced, clearly drop shipping and charging heavy on top
